“ The most important role of technology is to convert data to the knowledge that can be used in decision-making process.”

Understanding Technology’s Role

Technology is …• NOT a magic bullet…in fact, there is nothing magical about technology• NOT appropriate in all situations, or even in the majority of situations

Technology …• May complement current engineering practice when current practice fails to provide a

solution• enables significant savings, if applied appropriately
